Bahamut (バハムート, Bahamūto) is a DB Core released by Takara Tomy as part of the Burst System as well as the Dynamite Battle Layer System. It debuted in Japan with the release of the B-186 Random Booster Vol. 26 on June 26th, 2021.
Description
Takara Tomy's Bahamut is a left-spin DB Core that features a dragonic head representing the DB Core's namesake, Bahamut, a monster from Arabic folklore. Bahamut has high Burst Resistance due to its gimmick: Bahamut features a slope instead of Locks, akin to Hasbro Layers, and a "Rubber Lock". The Rubber Lock gimmick consists of two rubber protrusions on either side, as well as in the center of the DB Core. The friction caused by the rubber protrusions creates resistance, making it more difficult for a Bahamut combination to Burst. Although Bahamut does not have the "BU Lock" gimmick, the rubber protrusions interact with the raised protrusions on the Disc tabs of the two BU Lock compatible DB Discs, Xanthus and Moon. This results in increased Burst Resistance that makes a Bahamut combination very difficult to Burst.
As Bahamut has the highest Burst Resistance of all left-spin DB Cores, it is recommended in any left-spin combination, alongside the Longinus DB Core. Bahamut should be used when Burst Resistance is being prioritized over the weight that Longinus provides.
Overall
Bahamut is a must-have DB Core due to having the highest Burst Resistance out of all the left-spin DB Cores. As the Rubber Lock will eventually wear down with use, owning multiple copies of Bahamut is recommended.
As such, Bahamut is a must-have for the WBO's Burst format.
Bahamut is not legal in the WBO's Burst GT format.
Bahamut is not legal in the WBO's Burst Limited format.
Bahamut is not legal in the WBO's Burst Classic format.
